(How long was Jesus Dead?)

Today is Easter, or was it yesterday?

Depends on when you watch this.

The point is that Easter was just celebrated.

It is a really huge event in the Christian Church.

For some people it is the only day they go to church.

But is Easter a Christian holiday?

If you do any amount of research I am sure you will find that it has some pagan origins.

I won't go into detail on Easter today.

What I want to talk about today is the death and resurrection of Jesus.

There is no doubt about it being a historical event.

"But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:

For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." - Matthew 12:39:40

"The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away." - John 19:31

"And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him." - Mark 16:1

"And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment." - Luke 23:56

"Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them." - Luke 24:1

The question is how long was Jesus Dead?

Jesus was buried around 6:00 PM most people believe on a Friday.

And most believe that he rose Sunday morning.

They also believe that He was in the grave 3 days and 3 nights.

But that math just doesn't add up.

Some people even say he rose on a Monday.

Why is there so much division and confusion about the death and resurrection of Jesus?

I don't know.

But I do know that if we do some simple math we can get to the bottom of this.

We know what time of day Jesus was buried. (around 6:00 PM)

We know that he was in the grave 3 days and 3 nights.

We know that he was gone by Sunday Morning.

So we also know that he rose around 6:00 PM Saturday evening.

If you count back three days and three nights we get to Wednesday evening.

We know Jesus was buried Wednesday evening, because we know that Thursday was a high sabbath.

Like I said. Some simple math.

3 days and 3 nights.

I hope this video gave you something to think about and if you are curious I encourage you to do some more research.
